Junk

Piece of Junk. You'd think anybody can make a keyboard these days. How hard can it be? Has IOGear heard of QC.

Pros are only possible if the item is presumed to work

Keyboard doesn't work

Perfect HTPC Keyboard

I wanted a keyboard and mouse with no (or very few) of the gimicky media/volume/etc buttons that would look good if I leave it sitting out on my coffee table. I am very happy with this product.

This is the best wireless keyboard and mouse I've ever owned. It has excellent range - across the room easily w/o issue. Works great in my HTPC setup

I get minor lag on occasion with both the keyboard and mouse - nothing major, can still game fairly well, though thats not what I've built the system for. You need to click the mouse to reconnect after not using it for a while

A customer

I bought this to control my home theater PC and it works perfectly. The range is great, and setup was simple plug and play. I should have done this a long time ago--I can use the mouse on the arm of the recliner or the end table. Great product...

IOGEAR Long Range Media Center Desktop Keyboard and Mouse

Overall I am pleased with the keyboard, but find the lack of fast forward and rewind buttons frustrating when this is advertised as a Media Center keyboard. You can launch Media Center, My TV, My Music, My Video, and My Pictures all with one touch of a...
